Danger Mouse, Penfold, Duckula, Nanny and Igor had been trapped in the sack for a long time. It was uncomfortable enough without them flying up and down. They were feeling sick.
"Chief, I'm confused," Penfold said. "I feel hungry, but I don't feel like eating. I feel sick. What do I want?"
"How do I know what you want, Penfold?" Danger Mouse said. "Only you know what you want and only I know what I want. Right now, I want to get out of this bag."
"Me too," Duckula said. "In fact, I think I want to get out more than anyone else. I don't know how long we've been stuck in this bag, but I'm going crazy."
Igor got out a golden pocket watch out of his jacket pocket. "We've only been in here for fifteen minutes, Milord."
"Is that all, Igor? Well, I'm still going crazy!"
"What a load of fuss!" Danger Mouse muttered.
"Buzz, Chief?" Penfold cried. "Where are the bees? Where are they?"
"Fuzz, Penfold, not buzz!" Danger Mouse groaned. "There are no bees."
Then the bag opened up and they fell out. They landed on a wooden table but it was so gigantic. They looked around the room and saw it had giant shelves and giant glass ornaments. It was like they were in someone's house
"Where are we, Chief?" Penfold asked.
"No idea, Penfold," Danger Mouse said, "but wherever we are, someone big must live here."
"What, like a hippo?" Nanny asked.
"No, Nanny, don't be ridiculous," Duckula snapped. "It'll belong to a wood…"
"Monster?" Penfold guessed.
"…worm," Duckula finished.
Then there were heavy footsteps. Everyone turned to see a giant figure approaching them. It looked like an old human being only ten times bigger. "Now, then. What has us got here?"
"Run!" Danger Mouse yelled.
They all ran but was blocked off by one of the giant's hands.
"Here, now. Don't run off. I ain't gonna eat you."
"Are you talking to us?" Duckula asked.
"Yes, I ams. I'm the Big Friendly Giant. Or BFG, for short."
"Well, Mr. BFG, why have you brought us here?" Danger Mouse asked.
"And what were you doing outside my castle?" Duckula asked.
Nanny sniffed. "And what are you cooking?"
"I's cookin' snozzcumber soup," the BFG replied. "As for why I broughts you here, well, I was lookin' for some jewels. I discovered that some was last seen near your castle. Then you tooks a glimpse of me so I had to takes you with me."
"So you've been wrecking the Earth for these jewels?" Danger Mouse demanded. "Why are these jewels so important?"
"Well, the other giants wants 'em so they rule everythin'," the BFG replied. "I have to helps them find them or I will be in trouble." Then more footsteps were coming. The BFG put his tiny guests into a giant wooden bowl and put them on one of his massive shelves. "Don't make no noise," he warned them.
His tiny guests were about to ask why he was doing this when they saw that his home had guests. They were the Nine Man-Eating Giants. If they thought the BFG was terrifying enough, they were all trembling when they saw how the others were much bigger and scarier.
Penfold couldn't help trembling. "Oh, Chief!"
Danger Mouse covered his mouth up. "Quiet, Penfold. Everyone, be absolutely quiet. Like a… well, me."
"Like a 'well, you'?" Nanny asked. "What's a 'well, you'?"
"Nanny, you heard him, be quiet!" Duckula snapped.
The BFG was nervous as the Fleshlumpeater approached him and blocked at his table.
"Well, have yous founds them jewels yet?" he demanded.
"No," the BFG said. "I looked as hard as I coulds, but – "
"I don't want no excuses!" the Fleshlumpeater roared. "We wants those stones so we can rule eveythin'!"
"Yeah," agreed the Bloodbottler. "We can't rule anything without 'em."
"If you don't finds at least one of 'em next time you goes to Earth, we wills turn ya into a snozzcumber burger!" the Fleshlumpeater warned the BFG. "So find 'em!" Then he and rest of the Man-Eating Giants left the house.
The BFG took a deep breath before he brought his tiny guests down and put them back on the table. "You sees I ain't lyin'?"
"Yes, we do," Danger Mouse said.
"I wants to finds them myself," the BFG continued. "But not to rule everything. To makes sure that no one gets it and everythin' is safe from them."
"Then we must find them," Danger Mouse said.
"But how, Chief?" Penfold asked.
"I don't know, Penfold," Danger Mouse snapped. "This is where we have to use our heads."
"Use our heads?" Penfold said. "Like banging them into things?" He bumped his head on one of the BFG's wooden candle stick holder and fell asleep.
Danger Mouse was sort of glad that happened to Penfold so he and everyone could think about what to do next.
